Seedorf81 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 hello, Some time ago I asked the boys from techsupport whether I could hide the UI during gameplay. The answer: "I am not aware of such a possibility." But I seem to recall that somewhere earlier in the Forum there was someone who mentioned that removing the UI during gameplay is possible. Been searchin' and searchin' , but cannot find the thread in which this remark was made (at least, according to my memory). Does anyone know anything about this? Thanks, Seedorf81. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFF Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Nope, can't be done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedorf81 Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 Well, that ain't too nice, I think. I must have been reading 'bout the removal of the UI on another gameforum, I suppose. A real shame that it can't be done in Normandy. Thanks for reply, LukeFF. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wodin Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Is it a big deal? Apart from screenshots but we have photoshop for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I was wondering the same thing. Maybe the OP wants those extra pixels for extra vertical display of the game action? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedorf81 Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 Well, in order to be really "in" the game during the replayphases, I don't want to see anything that isn't "authentic" or distracting. Especially at "dawn/dusk and at night"gamemoments the light from the UI bothers me. It isn't a big issue, but still, I thought that switching the UI off, it was a gamepossibility that I had missed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicky Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Use gaffer tape on your monitor to mask off the offending UI.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Canadian Cat Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Use gaffer tape on your monitor to mask off the offending UI.... Change "gaffer tape" to "duct tape" and your sig works even better;) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClarkWGriswold Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Is it a big deal? Apart from screenshots but we have photoshop for that. Cropping screeenshots isn't a big deal, but when making movies the UI can be very intrusive. You not only get the bottom 20% of the screen wasted, but things like "replay phase" text, the compass, the camera angle in the bottom right corner, etc. are all distracting and cannot be removed at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicky Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 There's a reason why I didn't suggest duct tape for the monitor. While related to duct tape, gaffer tape differs in that it can be removed cleanly because it uses a synthetic rubber adhesive rather than a natural rubber adhesive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Schultz Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I would think from a movie making standpoint it is a very reasonable request. Being able to toggle the UI on and off would be a nice little tweak.... if that is all it would be. No telling how much code that may or may not involve. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFF Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Agreed, hiding the UI would be a nice feature to have. The Silent Hunter games allow the user to toggle the display of the UI, which comes in handy when taking screenshots or videos. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I think that at least the compass can be modded away 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
